How often do you back
up your data? You may answer that last month, last week or yesterday? Many
people have accidental data loss and then they will ask that how frequency they
should back up the data, and what is the safest way to secure the data?
Although we can back up
the data on hard drive to other storage devices, but the backup does not always
work. If your backup is not available,and the hard drive is also failed, what
can you do?
To reduce your chance
of data loss, you should choose a good drive. Most people tend to use an
external hard drive to back up the data on computer. What are the most
important aspects when choosing the hard drive?
The capacity of the
external drive depends on your actual needs. If you want to back up all the
data on your computer’s hard drive, you need to choose a drive larger than the
internal hard drive. It enables you to store all large amount of files. You can
connect it with your computer so that to update your backup at the first time.
Speed is also
important. If you need to frequently transfer data between the computer and the
external hard drive, you’d better choose a drive with faster speed to save your
time. The first backup will take a long time, but the subsequent backup will
not as you only need to back up the latest files or update the files. The
connector of the drive has great influence on the transferring speed. So at
least you need to take a drive support USB 3.0.
If you want to secure
your data, you should prepare more than one copies for your data. The external
drive or hard drive will not last forever as it’s easy to have physical damage.
Cloud backup is another way to secure your data.Cloud storage enable you to
upload and download your data via the Internet.
External hard drive is
used for your regular backup, you should choose the branded drive. Online
backup is for the long term storage and can be used on different devices as
long as there is Internet.
